PART I
DEPOSITS AND CHECKS

Sec. 36a-290. (Formerly Sec. 36-3). Joint deposit and share accounts. (a) When
a deposit account has been established at any bank, or a share account has been established at any Connecticut credit union or federal credit union, in the names of two or
more natural persons and under such terms as to be paid to any one of them, or to the
survivor or survivors of them, such account is deemed a joint account, and any part or
all of the balance of such account, including any and all subsequent deposits or additions
made thereto, may be paid to any of such persons during the lifetime of all of them or
to the survivor or any of the survivors of such persons after the death of one or more of
them. Any such payment constitutes a valid and sufficient release and discharge of such
bank, Connecticut credit union or federal credit union, or its successor, as to all payments
so made.

(b) The establishment of a deposit account or share account which is a joint account
under subsection (a) of this section is, in the absence of fraud or undue influence, or
other clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, prima facie evidence of the intention
of all of the named owners thereof to vest title to such account, including all subsequent
deposits and additions made thereto, in such survivor or survivors, in any action or
proceeding between any two or more of the depositors, respecting the ownership of such
account or its proceeds.

(c) This section shall not apply to any deposit account or share account where any
owner died before October 1, 1971, nor shall it apply to any action pending on that date.

History: 1961 act clarified application of statute to accounts issued to more than two persons; 1971 act added "or other
clear and convincing evidence to the contrary" and substituted "prima facie" for "conclusive" evidence in Subsec. (1) and
changed applicability in Subsec. (2) to exclude "any" owner rather than "either" owner who died before October 1, 1971,
rather than October 1, 1953; P.A. 78-121 deleted references to deposits in building associations and private banks in Subsec.
(1); P.A. 88-65 deleted a reference to industrial banks in Subsec. (1); P.A. 92-12 redesignated Subsecs. and made technical
changes; P.A. 94-122 made technical changes, divided former Subsec. (a) into Subsecs. (a) and (b), and relettered former
Subsec. (b) as Subsec. (c), effective January 1, 1995; Sec. 36-3 transferred to Sec. 36a-290 in 1995.

Intent of the legislature is to give to the survivors an unrebuttable presumption of ownership, but the determination of
the respective rights of the parties inter vivos is left to the common law. 154 C. 456. Cited. 172 C. 292. Cited. 176 C. 657;

Cited. 2 CA 430. A legislative rule of evidence which has the effect of shifting a burden of proof is not an unconstitutional

Annotations to present section:

Cited. 240 C. 343.

Testimony that a joint account was created to help pay decedent's expenses is not clear and convincing evidence
sufficient to overcome statutory presumption that it was intended to be a gift to the survivor; such payment of expenses is
not inconsistent with an intent to vest title in the surviving account holder. 60 CA 665.

Subsec. (a):

Serves only as a bank protection provision and does not determine ownership interests in funds in joint account. 79
CA 112.

Subsec. (b):

Where one owner of joint account dies, two survivors have ownership interests in account funds and trial court's finding
that one owner's withdrawal of all funds was a conversion of funds was not clearly erroneous. 79 CA 112.

Sec. 36a-291. (Formerly Sec. 36-113). Pledge of savings, share and time accounts in single or joint ownership. Unless the applicable deposit contract or share
contract provides that the account is nontransferable, and except to the extent that such
deposit contract or share contract otherwise limits such right, the interest of any named
owner in any savings account or share account established or maintained at any Connecticut bank or Connecticut credit union, except a savings or share account subject to
negotiable orders of withdrawal, or in any time account established or maintained at
such bank or credit union, without regard to whether any such account is held in the
names of one or more persons, may be pledged by such named owner, without the
consent of any other named owner thereof by delivery to the pledgee of (1) the passbook,
if any, evidencing such account, and (2) an order to the Connecticut bank or Connecticut
credit union to transfer such pledged account to the pledgee; but no such pledge shall
be effective against any person other than the named owners, their executors or administrators, or their receivers or custodians, unless an actual transfer of such account to the
pledgee has been made upon the books of such bank or credit union, or a copy of the
order for such transfer has been filed with the bank or credit union. Any pledgee which
makes a loan based on the pledge of a savings account, time account or share account
as provided in this section shall have a lien against such account until all sums due under
the loan have been repaid. The Connecticut bank or Connecticut credit union with which
such savings account, time account or share account is established or maintained may
be a pledgee under this section. This section does not apply to a negotiable certificate
of deposit subject to the terms of article 9 of title 42a.

History: 1961 act added "if any", see Sec. 36-113a; 1967 act deleted references to "savings departments" of state bank
and trust companies; P.A. 79-433 added provision granting institutions which make loans on pledge of savings account a
lien against any such savings accounts until loan is repaid; P.A. 94-122 rewrote the section to broaden the right to have a
lien against a deposit which is pledged for a loan to include any pledgee, not just any bank, effective January 1, 1995; Sec.
36-113 transferred to Sec. 36a-291 in 1995; P.A. 02-73 added provisions making section applicable to Connecticut credit
unions, share accounts and share contracts, and added provision re receivers or custodians.

Sec. 36a-292. (Formerly Sec. 36-3a). Liability of survivor receiving payment
on joint deposit account or share account. (a) Whenever all or any portion of the
balance of any deposit account or share account which is a joint account under section
36a-290 has been paid, after the death of one account owner to any surviving account
owner or owners, and if the deceased account owner has left no other estate of sufficient
value for the payment of claims against the deceased account owner's estate, such survivor or survivors or, if any such survivor is incapable, the legal representative of such
incapable survivor, shall pay to the representative of such estate or, if there is no such
representative, and subject to the terms of subsection (b) of this section, directly to the
claimant, from such joint account or from its proceeds, any valid claims against the
deceased account owner's estate for such deceased account owner's funeral expenses,
for the expenses of settling such estate, for any debts owed for the last sickness of such
deceased account owner, and for any debt due to this state for aid or care to the deceased
account owner. The aggregate liability of the surviving account owner or owners, under
this section, shall not exceed an amount equal to the balance of such joint account on
the date of the deceased account owner's death divided by the number of owners of
such account immediately before the deceased account owner's death.

(b) After pursuing all remedies available for payment from any estate left by the
deceased account owner, any person to whom any of the claims, expenses or debts listed
in subsection (a) of this section are owed shall have direct recourse to such survivor,
survivors or legal representative of any such incapable survivor for such claim, expense
or debt, but only to the extent of their liability under subsection (a) of this section, and
shall thereafter have no further recourse against the deceased account owner's estate
for such claim, expense or debt.

History: P.A. 82-197 amended section to include debts due to the state for aid or care to the deceased depositor; P.A.
87-190 added provision that recourse of person to whom debts are owed shall be to survivor and not to the fiduciary of
decedent's estate; P.A. 94-122 changed "conservator" to "legal representative", divided section into Subsecs. (a) and (b)
and made technical changes, effective January 1, 1995; Sec. 36-3a transferred to Sec. 36a-292 in 1995; P.A. 02-73 amended
Subsec. (a) by adding "or share account".

Annotation to former section 36-3a:

Expenses of last illness and funeral are not deductible from the nonprobate portion of an estate, except as they may
constitute liens thereon or debts which it is judicially established are chargeable thereto. Such liens or debts are not created
by this section. 25 CS 250.

Sec. 36a-293. (Formerly Sec. 36-5). Adverse claim to deposit account or share
account. Notice to any bank, Connecticut credit union or federal credit union of any
adverse claim to all or any portion of the balance of a deposit account or share account
held within this state and, according to such bank's or credit union's records, for the
credit of any person, shall not be effectual to cause such bank or credit union to recognize
such adverse claimant unless such adverse claimant also either (1) procures a restraining
order, injunction or other appropriate process against such bank or credit union from a
court of competent jurisdiction in a cause instituted by such person wherein each person
for whose credit the deposit account or share account is held, or such person's executor,
administrator, receiver, custodian, legal representative or heir, is made a party and is
served with summons, or (2) executes to such bank or credit union, in a form and with
sureties acceptable to it, a bond indemnifying such bank or credit union from any and
all liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses for and on account of the payment of such
adverse claim or the dishonor of the check or other order of the person for whose credit
the deposit account or share account, according to the records of such bank or credit
union, is held; provided this section shall not apply in any instance where the person
for whose credit the deposit account or share account is held, according to the records
of such bank or credit union, is a fiduciary for such adverse claimant, and the facts
constituting such relationship, and the facts showing reasonable cause of belief on the
part of such claimant that such fiduciary is about to misappropriate all or any portion
of the balance of such deposit account or share account, are made to appear by affidavit
of such claimant. An adverse claimant means one who is not a named owner, joint owner
or co-owner of the deposit account or share account according to the bank's or credit
union's records. This section shall not apply to any writ of foreign attachment or any
writ of execution applying to a deposit account or share account.

Sec. 36a-294. (Formerly Sec. 36-114). Loss, theft or destruction of passbooks,
certificates or instruments. When any passbook, certificate or instrument, negotiable
or nonnegotiable, transferable or nontransferable, issued by a Connecticut bank or Connecticut credit union in connection with a deposit account or share account has been
lost, stolen or destroyed, all persons in whose names such account is held, or their
respective legal representatives, may make written application to such bank or credit
union for either the payment of the balance then due on such account or for the issuance
of a duplicate passbook, certificate or instrument for such account. Such application
shall be signed by each person in whose name such account is then held according to
the records of the bank or credit union, and shall be in such form, together with such
sureties and such reasonable representations, warranties, agreements and indemnifications as are acceptable to such bank or credit union. Upon receipt of such application
and proof satisfactory to it of the identity of the person or persons making such application, such bank or credit union shall, at its option, either pay the balance then due on
such account to such applicant or applicants or issue a duplicate passbook, certificate
or instrument for such account and, upon such payment or issuance, all liability of such
bank or credit union to any person making such application and based on the existence
of the original passbook, certificate or instrument terminates.

History: 1959 act added minimum balance provision, changed advertising requirement to two successive weeks and
time allowed for presenting book to one month; 1967 act deleted reference to "savings departments" of state bank and
trust companies; P.A. 76-174 made provisions generally applicable rather than applicable to passbooks with balance of
$25 or more, required that application be signed by each person in whose name the book was issued and deleted requirement
that notice of application be published at least once a week for two weeks in newspaper; P.A. 94-122 expanded the section
to include "certificate or instrument, negotiable or nonnegotiable, transferable or nontransferable", made the procedures
apply to stolen passbooks, certificates or instruments, and allowed banks before issuing such instruments to require reasonable indemnifications, effective January 1, 1995; Sec. 36-114 transferred to Sec. 36a-294 in 1995; P.A. 02-73 added
provisions making section applicable to Connecticut credit unions and share accounts.

Sec. 36a-295. (Formerly Sec. 36-76). Rendering of statement and delivery of
passbook; accuracy and completeness presumed after seven years. Except as otherwise provided by applicable state or federal law, including title 42a, if a Connecticut
bank or Connecticut credit union has rendered a statement or delivered a passbook to
its depositor or share account holder reflecting transactions in or the balance of a deposit
account or share account, and unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in
an action filed by the depositor or share account holder against such bank or credit union
before the expiration of seven years from the date of the rendering of the statement or
the delivery of the passbook, that the statement or passbook was inaccurate or incomplete, then, upon the expiration of the seven-year period, at the option of such bank or
credit union, the statement or passbook is deemed accurate and complete as of the date
of the statement or the delivery and as to each transaction and any balance reflected in
the statement or passbook, and such depositor or share account holder is thereafter barred
from questioning the correctness of any transaction and any balance reflected therein
for any cause. Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve the depositor or share
account holder from the duty imposed by law or contract of exercising due diligence in
the examination of any such statement or passbook when rendered by the bank or credit
union, and of immediate notification to the bank or credit union upon discovery of any
error therein, nor from the legal consequences of neglect of such duty.

Sec. 36a-296. (Formerly Sec. 36-110). Deposits or share accounts in trust.
(a)(1) No bank, Connecticut credit union, or federal credit union shall establish any
deposit or share account in which deposits or shares are to be held by one natural person
in trust for another natural person unless the depositor or share account holder provides
the bank, Connecticut credit union, or federal credit union with the name and a residential
address for the beneficiary, upon establishing the deposit or share account or thereafter
at the request of the bank, Connecticut credit union, or federal credit union. The depositor
or share account holder may also provide the bank, Connecticut credit union, or federal
credit union with a writing signed by the depositor or share account holder specifying
the terms of the trust under which such deposit or share account is to be held. Unless
such writing specifies to the contrary, it shall be conclusively presumed that the depositor
or share account holder intends to create a trust of all funds credited to the deposit or
share account from time to time upon the following terms: (A) The depositor or share
account holder during the depositor's or share account holder's life may withdraw, or
authorize charges against, such funds; (B) if the depositor or share account holder survives the named beneficiary, the named beneficiary's death shall terminate the trust and
title to the deposit or share account shall thereupon vest in the depositor or share account
holder free and clear of the trust; (C) if the named beneficiary survives the depositor or
share account holder, the depositor's or share account holder's death shall terminate
the trust and title to the deposit account or share account, subject to any membership
restrictions for Connecticut credit unions or federal credit unions, shall thereupon vest
in the named beneficiary free and clear of the trust. (2) Any bank, Connecticut credit
union, or federal credit union shall be fully protected in making payment of any moneys
credited to such deposit or share account in accordance with the terms of such signed
writing or, in the event such writing does not specify to the contrary, in accordance with
the presumptions contained in this subsection that are applicable, and the title of any
person to any moneys credited to such deposit or share account and the effect of such
signed writing with respect to the deposit or share account or, in the event such writing
does not specify to the contrary, the effect of the presumptions contained in this subsection shall not be denied, abridged or in any way affected because such signed writing
was not executed in accordance with, or otherwise fails to comply with, the laws of this
state prescribing the requirements to effect a valid testamentary disposition of property
or because of any absence of delivery or compliance with other requirements to effect
a valid gift or transfer in trust. (3) The provisions of this subsection do not apply to
deposit or share accounts accompanied by a writing of the type described in subsection
(b) of this section or to any deposit or share account opened primarily for business or
professional purposes, including, but not limited to, escrow accounts, trust accounts and
clients' funds accounts.

(b) In the case of a deposit or share account established or maintained with a bank,
Connecticut credit union, or federal credit union by a trustee under a will or trust
agreement or under the terms of some other written document, or by a trustee pursuant
to statute or order of a court, the trustee shall provide the bank, Connecticut credit union,
or federal credit union with a writing identifying such will, agreement, other written
document, statute or order; and any moneys credited to a deposit or share account with
respect to which the trustee has filed such a writing shall be paid only to or upon the
order of such trustee or of the successor trustee. If the trustee is serving in such capacity
under a will, trust agreement or other written document, a certified copy of such document shall be filed by the depositor or share account holder if at any time requested by
the bank, Connecticut credit union, or federal credit union but such bank, Connecticut
credit union, or federal credit union shall not be charged with notice, actual or constructive, of the contents of such will, trust agreement, or other written document. Such bank,
Connecticut credit union, or federal credit union shall be fully protected in paying over
any moneys credited to such deposit or share account to or upon the order of the trustee
establishing or maintaining the deposit or share account or the successor trustee and
shall be under no duty to inquire into the application of funds so paid.

(c) (1) Subsection (a) of this section applies to all deposit accounts governed by
its provisions established (A) on or after June 13, 1963, and (B) prior to that date if the
depositor when establishing such deposit account or at any time thereafter provides a
writing meeting the requirements of subsection (a) of this section. Subsection (b) of this
section applies to all deposit accounts governed by its provisions whether such deposit
accounts were established prior to June 13, 1963, or are established on or after that date.

(2) Subsection (a) of this section applies to all share accounts governed by its provisions which are established at Connecticut credit unions and federal credit unions (A)
on or after October 1, 2001, and (B) prior to that date if the share account holder when
establishing such share account or at any time thereafter provides a writing meeting the
requirements of subsection (a) of this section. Subsection (b) of this section applies to all
share accounts governed by its provisions whether such share accounts were established
prior to October 1, 2001, or are established on or after that date.

No valid trust can arise where sole ownership of the funds on deposit is in the person named as trustee. 146 C. 496.
Effectuates intent of depositor to make a "poor man's will" while retaining sole right to the moneys during his lifetime.
176 C. 663. Beneficiaries of savings account trusts created under the statute acquire no interest in the trusts during lifetime
of depositor unless latter by unequivocal act renders them irrevocable. 186 C. 311. Cited. 226 C. 51.

Sec. 36a-297. (Formerly Sec. 36-111). Deposits or share accounts of minors.
A minor may contract to establish a deposit account with any bank or share account
with any Connecticut credit union or federal credit union, and may be the owner, or a
joint owner, co-owner or beneficiary of any deposit account or share account. A minor
who is an owner, co-owner or beneficiary of any deposit account or share account shall
be bound by the terms of the deposit contract or share account contract governing such
account, as amended by the bank or credit union from time to time, and any payment
made or withdrawal permitted by such bank or credit union in accordance with the terms
of the deposit contract or share account contract governing such account shall constitute
a sufficient and valid release to such bank or credit union for such payment or withdrawal
and shall be binding upon such minor and any other owner, co-owner or beneficiary of
such deposit account or share account to the same extent as if such minor were over the
age of majority. Unless made by such minor or by a person appointed as guardian of
the estate of such minor, a bank, Connecticut credit union or federal credit union may
treat any claim to a deposit account or share account made solely on behalf of a minor
owner, co-owner or beneficiary of such deposit account or share account as an adverse
claim under section 36a-293. This section shall not affect any rights of or obligations
imposed on a parent, guardian or spouse of a minor under section 45a-631.

History: 1967 act deleted references to "savings departments" of state bank and trust companies; P.A. 94-122 clarified
the right of minors to jointly own, open or be beneficiaries of all bank accounts, not just savings and time accounts, and
made technical changes, effective January 1, 1995; Sec. 36-111 transferred to Sec. 36a-297 in 1995; P.A. 02-73 added
provisions making section applicable to credit unions, share accounts and share account contracts and made a conforming change.

(1) Any Connecticut bank may require not more than three months' notice for the
withdrawal of savings deposits or time deposits from such bank; provided, during the
period when any such bank is operating with such notice requirement in force, it may,
nevertheless, in its discretion, pay such amount or amounts to any depositor weekly or
at other intervals as it deems prudent; and

(2) In every case in which a notice of intention to withdraw moneys has been filed
by a depositor, such notice is void and of no effect upon the actual withdrawal of the
amount demanded and in any event shall be void one month after the expiration of the
period specified therein.

Sec. 36a-299. (Formerly Sec. 36-9i). Permitted and prohibited transfers by
negotiable withdrawal order. (a) A Connecticut bank may permit unlimited transfers
by negotiable withdrawal order from a savings account consisting of savings deposits
deposited to the credit of, or in which the entire beneficial interest is held by, one or
more individuals, or by a corporation, partnership, association or other organization
operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, political, or other
similar purposes and not operated for profit or from deposits of public funds by an
officer, employee or agent of the United States or of any state, county, municipality or
political subdivision thereof.

(b) A Connecticut bank may permit transfers by negotiable withdrawal order from
savings accounts in which any beneficial interest is held by a corporation, partnership,
association or other organization operated for profit, provided under the terms of the
deposit contract, the depositor may make no more than three transfers by negotiable
withdrawal order or check made by the depositor during any month or statement cycle
of at least four weeks. The limitation on transfers in this subsection does not apply to (1)
preauthorized or automatic transfers made by a means other than negotiable withdrawal
order or check made by the depositor; (2) telephone transfers; (3) transfers to the bank
at which the savings account is held to repay loans and associated expenses and to
cover overdrafts; or (4) transfers to another account the depositor has at the bank and
withdrawals when the transfers or withdrawals are made by mail, messenger, automated
teller machine or in person.

History: P.A. 77-54 replaced previous provisions which had prohibited transfer by negotiable withdrawal order from
savings deposit in name of government, governmental agency, trade, corporation or partnership name or in name containing
commercial, occupational or professional designation and had further prohibited such withdrawals from accounts "not in
such a name" for governmental, commercial, occupational or professional purposes; Sec. 36-104l transferred to Sec. 36-9i in 1979; P.A. 81-472 made technical changes; P.A. 83-438 allowed state banks and trust companies, savings banks and
savings and loan associations to accept public funds in the form of negotiable withdrawal orders; P.A. 94-122 allowed
banks to provide NOW accounts to political organizations, effective January 1, 1995; Sec. 36-9i transferred to Sec. 36a-299 in 1995; P.A. 95-70 amended Subsec. (a) to specifically authorize "unlimited" transfer and to delete "only" re withdrawals from savings account and reference to corporations operated for "fraternal" purposes, effective May 31, 1995.

Sec. 36a-300. (Formerly Sec. 36-108). School savings deposits and time deposits. The superintendent of any school system or the principal of any school, acting directly or indirectly through their authorized agents, who may be teachers, other school
employees, members of a parent-teacher organization or such other natural persons as
the superintendent or principal may designate, may from time to time collect savings
deposits or time deposits from the pupils and deposit them within ten days from the day
of collection in any bank. Such deposits shall be placed to the credit of the respective
pupils from whom they have been collected or, if the amount collected at any one time
is deemed by the bank insufficient for the opening of individual accounts, it shall be
deposited in the name of such superintendent, principal or designated person in trust to
be transferred eventually to the credit of, or to be repaid to, the respective pupils to whom
the same belongs. Such superintendent, principal or designated person shall furnish such
bank the names, signatures, addresses, ages, or dates of birth, parents' or guardians'
names and such other data concerning the respective pupils as the bank may require.
The bank shall be liable for any loss of savings deposits or time deposits collected under
this section that occurs from the day of collection to the day of deposit.

History: 1967 act deleted reference to "savings departments" of state bank and trust companies; P.A. 92-9 added
provisions re designation of authorized agents and liability for loss of savings collected; P.A. 94-122 consolidated school
savings authority for all banks, extended it to include time deposits and made technical changes, effective January 1, 1995;

(1) "Tax and loan account" means an account, the balance of which is subject to
the right of immediate withdrawal, established for receipt of payments of federal taxes
and certain United States obligations. Such accounts are not savings accounts, savings
deposits, demand accounts or demand deposits.

funds held by depositories electing the note option under applicable United States Treasury Department regulations. Note accounts are not savings accounts, savings deposits,

(c) Connecticut banks shall pay a return on note accounts at the rates required by
the United States Treasury Department.

(d) In addition to the requirements contained in the regulations of the United States
Treasury Department, Connecticut banks shall meet all requirements in order to obtain
any available insurance of deposits contained in tax and loan accounts and note accounts
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Sec. 36a-302. (Formerly Sec. 36-9v). Applicability of federal Expedited Funds
Availability Act to banks and credit unions. Each bank, Connecticut credit union and
federal credit union shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Expedited Funds
Availability Act, 12 USC 4001 et seq. and regulations now and hereafter adopted thereunder, except that for the purposes of this section, the term "account" as defined in
Section 229.2 of Regulation CC (12 CFR Part 229) includes savings accounts but does
not include: (1) Accounts where funds deposited in such accounts are payable on a
specified date or at the expiration of a specified time after the date of deposit; or (2)
savings accounts opened or funded electronically.

History: P.A. 85-194 inserted new provisions designated as Subsecs. (a), (c) and (d) prohibiting the imposition of a
check hold period of greater than four business days for checks drawn on banks located in this state and seven business
days for checks drawn on banks located out of state, making prior provisions Subsec. (b); P.A. 87-8 amended Subsec. (a)
to shorten check hold periods to one business day for checks drawn on the same institution, three business days for checks
drawn on institutions located in this state, and five business days for checks drawn on institutions located out of state;
(Revisor's note: Pursuant to P.A. 87-9 "banking commissioner" was changed editorially by the Revisors to "commissioner
of banking"); P.A. 87-589 made technical change in Subsec. (c); P.A. 89-131 amended Subsec. (a) by adding numeric
subdivision designations, changing numeric subparagraph designations to lettered designations and adding Subpara. (2)

subsection shall not apply after September 1, 1990, and amended Subsec. (d) by limiting the application of the subsection
to prior to September 1, 1990; May Sp. Sess. P.A. 92-11 amended Subsecs. (a) and (b) to replace references to "subdivision

Sec. 36a-304. (Formerly Sec. 36-9bb). Cashing of state checks. Fee prohibited.
Liability for loss from wrongful payment. (a) Each bank, Connecticut credit union
and federal credit union shall cash, at its main office or any of its branch offices within
this state, any check drawn by the state of Connecticut and payable within this state to
a recipient of public assistance or state-administered general assistance or the refugee
program, if the check is negotiated to the bank, Connecticut credit union or federal
credit union by the original payee of the check, and if the payee produces reasonable
identification as provided for in regulations adopted pursuant to section 36a-305. No
bank, Connecticut credit union or federal credit union shall charge such recipient a fee

deposit account charges and notices, when such delivery is required by sections 36a-315 to 36a-323, inclusive, to more than one of the depositors.

(4) At such time as any financial institution is authorized by law to accept a time
deposit, the interest rate of which may vary during the term of such deposit, or at such
time as interest rate ceilings on any type of savings deposit are no longer provided by law
or are changing with sufficient frequency to justify, in the opinion of the commissioner,
invoking the provisions of this subsection, the commissioner may issue an order waiving
compliance with any or all of the provisions of sections 36a-315 to 36a-323, inclusive,
by any one or more of such financial institutions with regard to such accounts for any
period of time the commissioner may designate if, in the commissioner's opinion, economic or competitive conditions are such that compliance with such provisions would
be detrimental to depositors and other creditors of the institutions. For the purposes of
this subsection, "depositors" means persons having deposits in financial institutions.

depository: (1) For any qualified public depository having a risk-based capital ratio of
ten per cent or greater, a sum equal to ten per cent of all public deposits held by the
depository; (2) for any qualified public depository having a risk-based capital ratio of
less than ten per cent but greater than or equal to eight per cent, a sum equal to twenty-five per cent of all public deposits held by the depository; (3) for any qualified public

conducting business in this state for a period of less than two years except for a qualified
public depository that is a successor institution to a qualified public depository which
conducted business in this state for two years or more, a sum equal to one hundred and
twenty per cent of all public deposits held by the depository; provided, the qualified
public depository and the public depositor may agree on an amount of eligible collateral
to be maintained by the depository that is greater than the minimum amounts required
under subdivisions (1) to (4), inclusive, of this subsection; (5) notwithstanding the risk-based capital ratio provisions of subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, of this subsection,
for any qualified public depository that is an uninsured bank, a sum equal to one hundred
twenty per cent of all public deposits held by the depository; and (6) notwithstanding
the risk-based capital ratio provisions of subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, of this subsection, for any qualified public depository that is subject to an order to cease and desist,
or has entered into a stipulation and agreement, or a letter of understanding and
agreement with a bank or credit union supervisor, a sum equal to one hundred twenty
per cent of all public deposits held by the depository, provided, the qualified public
depository and the public depositor may agree on an amount of eligible collateral to be
maintained by the depository that is greater than the minimum amounts required under
subdivisions (1) to (6), inclusive, of this subsection. For purposes of this subsection,
the amount of all public deposits held by the depository shall be determined based
on either the public deposits reported on the most recent written report filed with the
commissioner pursuant to section 36a-338 or the average of the public deposits reported
on the four such most recent written reports, whichever amount is greater. For purposes
of this subsection, the depository's risk-based capital ratio shall be determined, in accordance with applicable federal regulations and regulations adopted by the commissioner in accordance with chapter 54, based on the most recent quarterly call report,
provided (A) if, during any calendar quarter after the issuance of such report, the depository experiences a decline in its risk-based capital ratio to a level that would require the
depository to maintain a higher amount of eligible collateral under subdivisions (1) to
(4), inclusive, of this subsection, the depository shall increase the amount of eligible
collateral maintained by it to the minimum required under subdivisions (1) to (4), inclusive, of this subsection based on such lower risk-based capital ratio and shall notify the
commissioner of its actions; and (B) if, during any calendar quarter after the issuance
of such report, the commissioner reasonably determines that the depository's risk-based
capital ratio is likely to decline to a level that would require the depository to maintain
a higher amount of eligible collateral under subdivisions (1) to (4), inclusive, of this
subsection, the commissioner may require that the depository increase the amount of
eligible collateral maintained by it to the minimum required under subdivisions (1) to
(4), inclusive, of this subsection based on the commissioner's determination of such
lower risk-based capital ratio.

(b) Each qualified public depository having a risk-based capital ratio of eight per
cent or greater shall transfer eligible collateral maintained under subsection (a) of this
section to its own trust department, provided such trust department is located in this
state unless the commissioner approves otherwise, to the trust department of another
financial institution, provided such eligible collateral shall be maintained in such other
financial institution's trust department located in this state unless the commissioner
approves otherwise, or to a federal reserve bank or federal home loan bank. Each qualified public depository having a risk-based capital ratio of less than eight per cent shall
transfer eligible collateral maintained under subsection (a) of this section to the trust
department of a financial institution that is not owned or controlled by the depository
or by a holding company owning or controlling the depository, provided such eligible
collateral shall be maintained in such other financial institution's trust department located in this state unless the commissioner approves otherwise, or to a federal reserve
bank or federal home loan bank. Such transfers of eligible collateral shall be made in a
manner prescribed by the commissioner. Eligible collateral shall be valued at market
value or as determined by the commissioner if market value is not readily determinable,
and the value of such eligible collateral shall be determined and adjusted on a quarterly
basis. Without the requirement of any further action, the commissioner shall have, for
the benefit of public depositors, a perfected security interest in all such eligible collateral
held in such segregated trust accounts, granted pursuant to and in accordance with the
terms of the agreement between the public depositor and the qualified public depository.
Such security interest shall have priority over all other perfected security interests
and liens.

(c) The depository shall have the right to make substitutions of eligible collateral
at any time without notice. The depository shall have the right to reduce the amount of
eligible collateral maintained under subsection (a) of this section provided such reduction shall be determined based on the amount of all public deposits held by the depository
and the depository's risk-based capital ratio as determined in accordance with said subsection (a). The depository shall provide written notice to its public depositors of any
such reduction in the amount of eligible collateral maintained under subsection (a) of
this section.

(d) The income from the assets which constitute segregated eligible collateral shall
belong to the depository without restriction.

(e) Eligible collateral pledged to secure public deposits under subsection (a) of this
section shall have a minimum market value as expressed in the following collateral
ratios:

ratio, effective May 2, 2006.

be paid, the commissioner or receiver shall, within twenty days after issuance of a restraining order or taking possession of any qualified public depository, ascertain the
amount of public deposits held by the depository as disclosed by its records and the
amount thereof covered by deposit insurance and certify the amounts to each public
depositor having public funds on deposit in the depository; (2) within ten days after
receipt of such certification, each such public depositor shall furnish to the commissioner
verified statements of its deposits in the depository as disclosed by its records plus
information concerning any letters of credit issued to the public depositor pursuant to
section 36a-337; (3) upon receipt of such certificate and statements, the commissioner
shall ascertain and fix the amount of such public deposits, net after deduction of any
deposit insurance and any amount received or to be received by the public depositor
pursuant to a letter of credit issued in accordance with section 36a-337, and assess the
same against the depository in which the loss occurred; (4) the assessment made by the
commissioner shall be payable on the second business day following demand, and in
case of the failure of the qualified public depository so to pay, the commissioner shall
immediately take possession of the eligible collateral, if any, segregated by the depository pursuant to sections 36a-330 to 36a-338, inclusive, and liquidate the same for the
purpose of paying such assessment; (5) upon receipt of the assessment, the commissioner
shall reimburse the public depositors of the depository in which the loss occurred to the
extent of the depository's net deposit liability to them.
